"Sister-in-law, is your little nephew being good in your belly? Has he been bothering you?"

"He's very well-behaved. What, our Princess has finally decided to come back?" Azi teased.

Di Jingcheng was also a little puzzled. He had sent a letter to Li Yannian and sent someone to bring Di Jinghan back. Why had he suddenly changed his mind and waited until now?

Di Jinghan's face flushed slightly as her secret was exposed, and she gently twisted the handkerchief in her hand: "Royal brother, royal sister-in-law, you are making fun of me!"

Di Jingcheng couldn't bear to let his precious baby stand for too long with her pregnant belly, so he helped her sit on a stone bench nearby, and Zheng He'er immediately went forward to lay down a soft cushion. Di Jinghan followed, stood awkwardly for a while, then knelt down in front of the two of them, her expression resolute, filled with anticipation and fervor.

"Your Majesty, Changning wishes to ask you to grant me a marriage. I am in love with General Li Yannian!"

Azi and Di Jingcheng exchanged a smile. The secret guards had already informed them of the two's situation, but they never expected that they would come to request a marriage decree.

Seeing that the two remained silent for a long time, Di Jinghan became somewhat anxious: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Changning and he are of one mind and in love. We beg Your Majesty to grant us this marriage."

"I know of the feelings between you, but now is not the time." Emperor Jingcheng had his own considerations.

Di Jinghan's eyes were filled with disbelief: "Royal brother, why is this happening? Royal sister-in-law, please beg your brother for me!"

"Jinghan, don't worry, your brother is only thinking of you. Please let him finish speaking," Azi gently comforted him.

Di Jinghan looked intently at Di Jingcheng.

Where is Li Yannian now?

“Brother, he is naturally on the frontier.”

"Jinghan, have you thought it through? Are you willing to spend your life with him, to suffer on the frontier, or to be separated from him for a long time? Besides, the border is not stable, and we don't know when something might happen to him. Your brother cannot grant you a marriage right now." Emperor Jingcheng earnestly advised, everything still had to wait until the Battle of Dongyang was over.

"Royal brother..." Di Jinghan was speechless at his question. Was she really ready? Confusion appeared in her eyes.
